I feel your pain, Kam - this is exactly what happened to me (well, without the restaurant and nice meal) the last time it snowed. I got stuck on the hill up out of the village where I live... luckily it was 6.30am and no-one was around to see me. Turned TC off and was lucky enough to get enough traction to spin her round.... it does make you look like a muppet though. Esp with noddy front-wheel drive Fiat Pandas with their thin tyres and 70bhp happily passing you up the hill!!

Wheels and tyres are fine fortunately, was just stuck in a load of slush and ice.. got to the restaurant at about 8pm when temp was around 1 degc, then left at close to 11pm when it was -0.5 so the snow changed to ice pretty rapidly, plus it was a side service road, so no treatment to the road at all!

Just thought i'd add.. have brought my car to work again today.. fortunately without incident at any point/no slips/no skid etc.. but pulled on the car park which is still quite fresh with iced up snow, and i proceeded to nearly slide onto my ass about 10 times between the car park and the office front door.. hope noone was watching!!

I HATE BLOODY SNOW!!

I had a play in the snow when I got to work yesterday in a good 6"+. Used the snow setting on the dial. Really great traction No probs on 20" wheels even though tyres are due for replacement soon.
When I left at 1am I just floored it leaving a colleague floundering in his car with a big grin of satisfaction. TDV6 - gone

I don't know. A bit out of touch to be honest.

If they are standard fit 19's, I think they look great. A lot better than MY05/06. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

I must admit I prefer the newer design - a bit more elegant than the previous version.

It's times like these you realise what you gave away

At least we still have the Freely in the garage - if we didn't have that we'd be truly stuck. All snow's gone here now tho.
